There is a steady demand.. We are about the only firm down here, (south of Plymouth) which is great, but can't find the help when things are busy.

Cheers mike , baby on the way too so won't be leaving Cornwall for a while! Will always bear you in mind though.

Had to pass up on that one as just could find the blokes...but generally always looking for help with fitting. Cheers for replies.

Same as up north... Just a bit less moaning init? ;-)

In major need of a decent fibrous fitter for ongoing work in Cornwall. Any one know of anyone? Subcontract basis..got to know what they are doing as training someone up would defeat the point at the moment.

Cheers will do..

Been getting some displays ready for royal Cornwall show next week. Were gonna set up a bench and do a bit of live cornice casting too.. should be fun :-)

Make sure you got a warm workshop for the gel coat!

Not had much joy with shellac so have been using G4 instead. 3-5 thin coats on a damp model, 5 x wax, and a coat of blue for luck and it jumps out. No need to wait for model to dry either.

SWIP usually.

Lafarge casting and ca120.. Not keen on the pinky tinge of BG.

Lovely work!

Probably need a coarse sand and or devil float to get a key up on the raw walls and make sure no paste or size remains. Really good dampen down and prob two or three coats of fine setting stuff to gain control of the suction. Painted walls will need a d.g, thistle bond or blue grit etc to get...

What surface do you have Paint/distemper or raw plaster?
